Lis Pendens Proceedings
A supplementary proceeding against Julius Detmer in favor of George How¬ ard Randall, was pending in the Coun¬ ty Court and while Mr. Detmer was being examined as to his ability to pay the judgment for about $600 which Mr. Randall recovered last fall, a deed to the property on Ocean Avenue was, on the same day, March 6, being drawn and executed. This is the property conveyed by Mr. Detmer to his wife shortly before the Randall suit was commenced.
Before the deed was recorded a lis pendens was filed against the proper¬ ty and another large piece of land standing in Mrs. Detmer's name, in a suit to set aside the deeds as fraudu¬ lently made with intent to prevent Mr. Randall from collecting his claim. Mrs. Detmer, in ignorance of the lis pendens satisfied of record a $2500 mortgage on the Ocean Avenue proper¬ ty, which was conveyed to Francesco Cavilli and wife. Of course Mr. Cavilli's title is subject to the outcome of the judgment creditor's action, as thc lis jiendens was first recorded.
